I think the Roland CM30's placed close to each of us will suffice, as the mains(Community) will be enough for the congregation. Remember this is a subdued background accompaniment and we are not amplified. I am not using either Bose because I am trying to avoid carrying my own gear to church every week. Besides, I have learned that if you keep bringing your own equipment, there never seems to be room in the budget for upgrading their own.
The CM30's will work fine. And amen to the part about the church thinking they own your stuff. I've been doing this kind of work for years and believe me this happens. I have a CM30 at my church right now and they use it for everything. I have to remind them that it's mine.
Having done this for many years I've learned a few tricks. A good one is to befriend a couple of the heavy givers. Then when you need a piece of gear, extra music, or whatever, drop a hint or two and somehow the money magically appears. I just bought 35 new choir robes using this method.
Good luck,
Joe
